Those who’s parents have died…
How did you cope?
A lot of people only have their parents and do not have friends or other family members to turn to.
I have not mourned my grandma and dog and others I don’t think.
N loss of a pet…
I don’t know how I could cope without my sacred neigh.
Love 
of my life
Or a greatest love of my life
Did you need help from employed care workers etc to cope daily with eating etc?
Maybe a dog or other good people come into your life can help with their existence.
Sometimes it can still be s loss when a parent is still alive but seriously hates you ,regret you etc
I have felt that and it hurts .
I got a link to watch a Swedish tv show .
My mum sent it .
It help me to watch .
The other woman that raised me does sweet things to me too n they help .
When my father died I denied it for a long time. We never got to see his remains, he was cremated… For a long time I thought he was living in some remote island, I thought any day he’d walk through the door and ask me what’s going on. I had dreams to that effect.
from what i have gathered i think it is better to be independent before your parents get too old to look after you, because you rely on them for so long and then when they get sick its harder for you to cope on your own,
I have a wonderful family. Sadly mum is in the middle of some serious melanoma. It’s a reality we’ll face soon but I have a good network of friends and family!
As with schizophrenia and treatment it’s a day at a time! You get to where you need to be in the end…Still. It’s not something pleasant to have to deal with!
My mom informed my of my father’s death and I was pretty much unaffected, he wasn’t really ever a dad to me. Two weeks later I found my beloved mother dead. A part of me went with her. I will never be the same without her. It’s been four years and not a day goes by that I don’t think of her and wish I could see her one more time. I’m sorry I can’t sugar coat it, it just sucks. Our mother’s take out hearts with them when they go. It’s just that simple. I love you mama.
i ve lost my parents young my mother at 16 my father at 22.
i rememeber did a lot of clubing and going drunk in the morning at the cemetery .
it was nasty yeats but time heals .
My mom died when I was 13. At her funeral I had diarrhea. I was depressed a long time afterward I started cutting myself. I eventually grew out of that
My mom died in 2010. It was and wasn’t unexpected. She had bad health for a while bit we weren’t expecting her to go when she did from an infection because she’d ben doing better. This month is the 8 year mark.
Not very well, my mom died in october 2016 and my dad in May 2003.
I’m preparing myself psychologically.
Both my parents are well in their 80s.
My mom died February 28 of this year. She was given 6 months to live and put on hospice care the prior September. My dad is dead too, but I never knew him. It was only my mom. I used to live with her, but I started living independently in October of 2008. I miss her.
I coped very well. I didn’t cry at either of their funerals. Haven’t cried since either. My father had been very abusive to us kids and my mother had been a doormat.
When i lost my mom i dropped out of college and started working 6 to 7 days a week. I was smoking weed when she was alive but i think her passing made me more of recluse. If she hadnt of died i wouldnt have been smoking weed as heavy by myself in return i wouldnt have been spending time by myself. If my psychotic episode would have happened while she was alive, it wouldnt have been as severe voices wise since they know my mom wouldnt have talked about me in a bad way. Plus i would have got free meds since she worked for kaiser hospital. But yea i cope by burying myself in work and weed.
I am so sorry for all of your losses. My #1 reason for moving into an apartment was to know that my parents wouldn’t have to worry about who would take care of me after they died. My parents are in their 60’s. I moved out a week ago.
I do not know how I would cope with the loss of my parents, especially my #1 supporter, my Mom.
I lost my mom in 2007 and dad in 2009, both to cancer. One and ten year anniversaries were the hardest.
i just want to make my dad proud even though he is not here physically i still feel like he has never left, i like to think that he is watching over us in a way from up above,
i think i dealt with it very well but i knew he was deteriorating, he was given 5 years to live and he lasted about 6, i miss him but i can still see him in my mind laughing, i always remember him laughing and joking, its good to remember the good times.
worried about my friend now, she is my ex but i’ve known her for 15 yrs, i hope she is ok, i’ve been praying for her, i pray for her bc its all i can do 
I never talked to my parents after I turned 18, read about their deaths online, never bother me much, but it had been years and years since I seen them
My father was not there really after I was 14 but I communicated with him frequently by email, and other forms of communication, and visited him at least twice a year. It was hard on me when he passed away. There was a especially wicked effect a year later. My twin brother’s doctor warned him of a year later effect and a year later he and my younger brother had bad backs, and I was headed towards a relapse. A med change, and moving to my first apartment may have been the actual reason but insomnia was becoming a major problem already before then so it may have occurred anyway. I am primarily over it now although you never completely get over the loss of a parent. I am definitely going to have a harder time when my Mother who’s been the responsible parent passes but I do know how to survive on my own now so maybe it could be worse.
Since late summer I’ve been communicating with the ghosts of my mom, uncle and most recently my dad. I guess that’s how I’m coping. I feel confident it’s them because they want me to cope better even when I wanna cope worse.
